1. 1 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo By Dave Iwamoto Review of Shipbuilding Quality and Current Technical Challenges

2. 2 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo What is Quality? “Workmanship” Quality “Engineering & Designing” “Total power in meeting contractual commitments”

3. 3 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo Workmanship Continuously maintained Both.... own and outsourced labour What is the balance -? Skill transfer Transfer unsteady  Training required to fill gap Mind training  Responding naturally to disorders.... Narrow miss experience Coordination with design instructions Design workmanship quality

4. 4 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo Share between own labour and outsourced labour Source: The Shipbuilders’ Association of Japan (SAJ)

5. 5 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo Workmanship Continuously maintained Both.... own and outsourced labour What is the balance -? Skill transfer Transfer unsteady  Training required to fill gap Mind training  Responding naturally to disorders.... Narrow miss experience Coordination with design instructions Design workmanship quality

6. 6 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo Design Workmanship Needed for seeking benefits of efficient repeat work  More details covered by design Dependence on design workmanship information  Lose flexibility in making judgment on site Design workload is overloaded  Less experienced designers engaged  IT/mechanized process?  coverage and cost

7. 7 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo Engineering & Designing Rule complying skills > Complying in a smarter way -- competing element > Less prescriptive rule making -- more thinking  Customer satisfaction is the key > Rules needing studies -- beyond capacity of yard?  Co-work among stakeholders including resources for studying (Tripartite framework helps) > Importance of intellectual property rights  Incentive to continue study (security and reward) Innovative technology

8. 8 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo How Can We Measure Quality? Life saving appliances 14% (12,131) Fire safety measures 17% (14,619) Stability, structure and relevant equipment 7% (6,462) Load lines 7% (6,048) Safety of navigation 16% (14,207) Others 35% (29,967) ISM related 4% (3,386) Deficiencies by main categories in 2009 (total: 86,820) Share of “Stability, structure and relevant equipment”, the most shipbuilding-related category is small (7%) and has been declining since 2000 (13%).

9. 9 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo Engineering and Designing Rule complying skills > Complying in a smarter way -- competing element > Less prescriptive rule making -- more thinking > Rules needing studies -- beyond capacity of yard? > Importance of intellectual property rights Innovative technology > Courage to make attempts -- be consistent > Skill Transfer -- person dependent to company effort  Project planning to ensue continuity > Watch site engineering too!  Important for quality as a whole

10. 10 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo Capacity to Meet Contractual Commitments If neither party foresees problems – good practice may help If it is a foreseen problem – closer working relations may help Practices are based on culture – requires time to change Mutual trust and understanding to establish contract terms.... How frank can we discuss?

11. 11 Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo Summary Careful management of workmanship of workers and designers  Ensure long term continuity Skill transfer framework - human element dependent and IT support have limits  Building up of experience Culture of good thinking needed for meeting rule requirements or innovative technology  Compete well! Get stakeholders together to cooperate  Improve culture! and talk frankly Respect Intellectual Property! Keep your eye on the site
